Description sphakka 2019-11-28 20:25:02 UTC
Opening a LaTeX file in emacs-26 with dbus support gives this error in the *Messages* buffer:

  File mode specification error: (invalid-function dbus-ignore-errors)

exactly as reported time ago in the above URL. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build emacs-26 with USE=dbus
2.Open a LaTeX file in emacs

Actual Results:  
The LaTeX mode fails to load. The buffer stays in fundamental mode -- no syntax highlighting.

Expected Results:  
The buffer switches to LaTeX mode with proper syntax highlighting

This happens with app-emacs/auctex-12.1-r1, I suppose?

Does reinstalling auctex (after installing emacs with USE=dbus) make the problem disappear, as suggested at URL?
Comment 2 sphakka 2019-11-29 09:57:30 UTC
Yep, the workaround is OK -- I should have tried, oops ;-)

In fact I had auctex from melpa. So:  

1. removed melpa's auctex
2. installed 'app-emacs/auctex-12.1-r1'
3. rebuilt emacs with USE +dbus

Voilà!
